Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United KingdomThe inverter kept switching the lights on in the middle of the night. Waking up the guests. So what was a positive to negate Eskom became a negative. This was reported twice and we were told to switch the lights off at the box.
As always brilliant position

United KingdomThe property didn’t automatically provide generator backup for the times of load shedding (these happen multiple times a day).
The property was located within a gated community, which was guarded by security. Only guests with key cards can access the property. The restaurants and shops were very close, only a few minutes walk away.

South AfricaThe apartment should have an inverter to lessen the rampant loadshedding that is currently afflicting South Africa.
The apartment has an excellent location.

United Arab EmiratesNit picking a little here: we were advised during our check in that one of the access cards we were entitled to had to be replaced, and we were supposed to get a replacement sent to us on Day 2. But we never got our 2nd access card. Extremely small and minor issue which did not dampen our enjoyment of our stay.
Location was extremely convenient, and the surrounding environment was pleasant as well. Facilities was exactly as described, and service standards were top notch and responsive. The whole family felt safe and secure throughout our stay, and that made it a extremely memorable one for us all.

NamibiaThe tumble dryer did not work at all. The extractor in the bathroom did not switch off with the light switch so it was noisy. Only a lamp for load shedding...

South AfricaThe patio outside only got cleaned once during our 3-day stay and there were leaves everywhere and tables full of dust, would be nice if someone cleaned it every morning. The kitchen window lock was broken and could not lock. We reported this to reception and the maintenance team came but it was not fixed during our stay. Felt unsafe to sleep like that with my 3 kids in the house. The one shower had very little water pressure, but the maintenance team came out quickly to fix it. The door to the patio struggled to open and I had to use my room door to go to patio because I could not get the door open when my husband was not there, again the maintenance team came out quickly to fix it. The first night we arrived back at 10pm and found our patio door half open, not sure if it was the cleaning / maintenance staff. Regarding TV, one bedroom was logged into Netflix, and when we enquired about the other 2 bedrooms, we were told we had to log into our own account to view Netflix. For the rate you pay to stay here I would expect at least to be able to watch some kind of tv channels.
The size of the apartment was perfect for a family of 5. The location was great with easy access to the V&A Waterfront as well as the high way (N1) for access to Airport and Southern Suburbs.
